                      Wednesday, February 10, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to two fine 
people and world class athletes from Greeley, Colorado. Mr. Doug Bell 
and Ms. Marilyn Stapleton were both ranked third among America's best 
runners by age group in the Running Times. I commend them for their 
hard work, commitment and dedication. Year round, despite the elements, 
fatigue and adversity, these fine athletes constantly train and strive 
to better themselves. Doug Bell, owner of Bell's Running, and Marilyn 
Stapleton set fine examples for young athletes, and for everyone 
seeking to achieve such admirable goals.
